This application is a U.S. National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. §371 of International Patent Application No. PCT/AU2012/000409 filed 18 Apr. 2012, which claims the benefit of priority to Australian Patent Application No. 2011901448 filed 18 Apr. 2011, the disclosures of all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties. The International Application was published in English on 26 Oct. 2012 as WO 2012/142668. To the extent appropriate, a claim of priority is made to each of the above disclosed applications.
This invention relates to amines and their use in capturing carbon dioxide from gas streams.
There is growing pressure for stationary producers of greenhouse gases to dramatically reduce their atmospheric emissions. Of particular concern is the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. One method of reducing atmospheric CO2 emissions is through its capture at a point source and subsequent storage in geological or other reservoirs.
The process for capturing CO2 from power station and other combustion device flue gases is termed post combustion capture (PCC). In post combustion capture, the CO2 in flue gas is first separated from nitrogen and residual oxygen using a suitable solvent in an absorber. The solvent is usually an aqueous basic mixture containing components that undergo a chemical reaction with acid gases such as CO2. It might contain amines (e.g. alkanolamines, ammonia, alkylamines) and/or inorganic salts (e.g. carbonate or phosphate). The CO2 is subsequently removed from the solvent in a process called stripping (or regeneration), thus allowing the solvent to be reused. The stripped CO2 is liquefied by compression and cooling, with appropriate drying steps to prevent hydrate formation. PCC in this form is applicable to a variety of stationary CO2 sources including power stations, steel plants, cement kilns, calciners and smelters.
Acid gases, such as carbon dioxide, are also present in natural gas and other pressurised gas streams and need to be removed to meet gas quality specifications. Pressurised gas streams containing CO2 are also produced in fuel conversion processes such as natural gas reforming and coal gasification combined with a water-gas shift conversion to produce mixtures of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. These gas streams are then suitable for pre-combustion capture of CO2. The conventional approaches for such removal include membrane separation or amine treatment.
When CO2 is absorbed into an aqueous solution a number of reactions can occur. The reactions are shown by the following equations where (1) is hydration of gaseous CO2, (2) is the reaction of CO2 with water to form carbonic acid, (3) is the reaction of CO2 with hydroxide to form bicarbonate and (4) and (5) are the carbonic acid-bicarbonate-carbonate acid-base equilibria.
##STR00001##
If an amine, or multiple amines, are present in solution a number of additional reactions may occur. If the amine is a sterically free primary or secondary amine such as monoethanolamine (MEA) or diethanolamine (DEA) the following reactions can occur between CO2 and each amine. Equation (6) is the formation of a carbamate species via a nitrogen-carbon bond formation between the amine and CO2. This is generally the kinetically fastest reaction of those that occur with CO2. Equation (7) is the amine acid-base equilibrium. For polyamines the reactions of equation (6) and (7) may occur for each nitrogen atom. For sterically hindered primary or secondary amines the carbamate species is less stable than in sterically free amines which leads to enhanced formation of the bicarbonate species. For tertiary amines only the acid-base equilibrium of equation (7) occurs.
##STR00002##
Monoethanolamine (MEA) is currently employed in industrial CO2 capture but has a number of limitations, including solvent degradation due to oxidation and reaction with nitrogen and sulphur oxides, solvent losses due to high volatility and high energy requirements needed to desorb the CO2 from the CO2 loaded MEA. Some other amines used for industrial CO2 capture have a larger CO2 absorption capacity than MEA, but have poor rates of CO2 capture. Slow CO2 absorption rates are undesirable because to achieve the requisite absorption of CO2, longer contact times between the CO2 containing gas stream and the amine means that longer absorption columns and larger capital costs are usually required.
The use of amines as sorbents in CO2 capture may be limited by the thermal degradation and oxidation of the amines. Much of the research on amine solvents for CO2 capture is based around formulation with commercially available amines. There appears to be little study of novel amines that are designed, via amine structural modification, to match the characteristic requirement of CO2 capture. 4-Aminopiperidine has been reported to perform well in CO2 capture (Singh et al., 2008).
In addition, European patent application no 2036602 (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.) relates to an absorbent liquid for removing CO2 and/or H2S from gas which includes compounds which are described in very general terms in the application (for example, by way of very broad general formulae). However, the data in the application showing the CO2 absorption capacity of the compounds is quite limited.
However, there still exists a need for a more efficient CO2 capture technology or process for post combustion capture.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome or at least alleviate one or more of the problems associated with the prior art.
Reference to any prior art in the specification is not, and should not be taken as, an acknowledgment or any form of suggestion that this prior art forms part of the common general knowledge in Australia or any other jurisdiction or that this prior art could reasonably be expected to be ascertained, understood and regarded as relevant by a person skilled in the art.
The Applicants have surprisingly discovered that the compounds of the invention (as represented by formula (I) below) exhibit good molar CO2 cyclic capacities. The compounds of formula (I), which are derivatives of 4-aminopiperidine, show a higher molar CO2 cyclic capacity that that of 4-aminopiperidine itself.
Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention provides a process for the capture of CO2 from gas streams, the process including contacting a CO2 containing gas stream with a compound including:

When a compound as described above is used in a mixture with another amine, (ie, a mixed amine solution), the CO2 capture efficiency of the mixed amine solution is also better than that of 4-aminopiperidine used in a mixture with another amine. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is thought that the compounds described above act as promoters in mixed amine solutions. Accordingly, the cost and energy consumption of CO2 capture may be lowered by the use of a compound as described above, by itself, or in a mixture with another amine in CO2 capture.
In the process of the present invention, the compound is typically present in the form of an aqueous solution. The compound may be present in the aqueous solution in an amount of from about 5 to 99 percent by weight, preferably from about 10 to 90 percent by weight, most preferably from about 15 to 75 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the aqueous solution.
When the compound is used in a mixture with another amine, (ie, a mixed amine solution), the compound may be present in the mixed amine solution in an amount of from about 10 to 100 percent by weight, preferably from about 20 to 80 percent by weight, most preferably from about 30 to 70 percent by weight, based upon the total weight of the amine components.
The optimal amount of the compound used in the process of the present invention will depend upon the gas stream composition, outlet fluid requirement and circulation rate. A person skilled in the art would readily be able to determine the appropriate amount of the compound to use in the process of the present invention.
The process of the present invention may be carried out in conventional equipment for the removal of carbon dioxide from gas streams by reactive chemical absorption and detailed procedures are well known to the person skilled in the art. See, for example, the flow diagram of
In the embodiment described by
The desorption process which regenerates the compounds of formula (I) may be carried out be any other suitable method known to the person skilled in the art, such as pressure relieving or stripping treatment.
The process according to the present invention may be conveniently carried out in any suitable absorber, including packed, plate or spray towers. These absorbers are interchangeable to a considerable extent although certain specific conditions may favour one over the other.
In addition to conventional packed, plate or spray towers, specialised absorber towers have been developed to meet specific process requirements. Examples of these specific towers include impingement-plate scrubbers and turbulent contact scrubbers.
The process of the present invention may be carried out in either packed, plate or spray towers, or specialised towers developed to meet specific process requirements, and may contain other peripheral equipment as necessary for optimal process operation. Such peripheral equipment may include but is not limited to an inlet gas separator, a treated gas coalescer, a solvent flash tank, a particulate filter and a carbon bed purifier. The inlet gas flow rate varies according to the size of the equipment but is typically between 5 000 and 25 00 cubic meters per second. The solvent circulation rate is typically between 10 and 40 cubic meters per tonne of CO2. The operating pressure of the absorber is typically between 1 and 100 atm with lower operating pressures being typical of post-combustion CO2 capture and higher operating pressures being typical of natural gas treatment and pre-combustion CO2 capture.
In the process of the present invention, a gas stream containing CO2 at or above atmospheric pressure is contacted with a compound of formula (I) at a temperature at or above ambient temperature, preferably between 30° C. to 60° C., and more preferably between 35° C. to 45° C. to effect absorption of CO2 from the gas stream. Optionally, corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, antifoam agents and/or other additives known to those in the art that may assist in the CO2 capture process of the present invention may be employed.
The following examples are offered to illustrate but not to limit the present invention.
This method may be used for the synthesis of secondary or tertiary amine product from either (1) or (3) below.

Sodium triacetoxyborohydride, Na(OAc)3BH (60 mmol) was added potionwise to a stirred solution of tert-butyl 4-oxopiperidine-1-carboxylate (1) or 1-Boc-piperidine-4-carboxaldehyde (3) (30 mmol), acetic acid (30 mmole) and corresponding amine, RNH2 or RNHMe, (30 mmole) in dichloromethane (60 ml). The reaction was stirred under nitrogen at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then quenched by the careful addition of H2O or 1M NaOH (60 mL). The pH of the mixture was adjusted to basic (˜pH 10) by the careful addition of solid NaOH and the mixture was stirred for 15-30 min. The organic phase was separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2×60 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with H2O (2×60 mL) and dried by K2CO3 or filtration through phase separation paper. Removal of the solvent under vacuum gave the product in excellent yield.
NOTE—the amine hydrochloride salt may be used in the reaction. If the amine hydrochloride salt is used, one equivalent of triethylamine (Et3N) is used instead of acetic acid.
A detailed description of this method is provided in Ahmed F. Abdel-Magid, Kenneth G. Carson, Bruce D. Harris, Cynthia A. Maryanoff, and Rekha D. Shah; Journal of Organic Chemistry, 1996, 61(11) 3849-3862.

The organic phase was separated and aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane (2×60 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with H2O (2×90 ml) and dried by K2CO3 or a filtration through phase separation paper. Removal of the solvent under vacuum gave product (8) in excellent yield.
Note: the reaction may use an alkylchloride rather than an alkylbromide. If an alkylchloride is used a small quantity of KI was added.

Amberlyst 15 resin was used in the Boc-deprotection. The amount of resin used was calculated based on the number of amino groups in the amine molecules. The ratio is 5:1 molar equivalents of resin to each amino-group in the product. Hence, this molar ratio is 10:1 in the case of diamines and 15:1 in the case of tri-amines.
A very slow dropwise flow rate is critical in all operations involved in resin washing or rinsing to achieve complete deprotection and quantitative or near quantitative yield.
The Boc-protected amine (2, 4, 5, 6 or 8) was dissolved in an amount THF that is sufficient to just cover the resin and the solution was added to the resin. The mixture was heated at gentle reflux overnight without stirring. An aliquot of supernatant was evaporate to dryness and analyse by 1H NMR to confirm all amine bound to resin. Resin was transferred to a glass column and drained, and then wash with 1× bed volume of THF at a very slow flow rate.
The amine was released from the resin using 2M MeNH2/EtOH (33%, ˜8M). An equal molar quantity of MeNH2 with respect to the resin loading was used. The resin was then washed with 1 bed volume of EtOH. In the case of aminoacid derivatives, alcohol was avoided and an aqueous Me3N/H2O solution (45%, ˜7.6M) was used to release the amine followed by washing with H2O (1 bed volume). The combined filtrates were concentrated to dryness to yield the free amine.
The resin was regenerated by washing with 3M HCl in MeOH/H2O (1:1) (≧1 eq with respect to resin), water (1-2 bed volumes) followed by MeOH (1 bed volume), and then dichloromethane (1 bed volume. The clean resin was finally dried under N2 or vacuum.

Step 1
2-Hydroxyethylene bromide (9.1 ml, 128 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-aminopyridine (10) (10 g, 106 mmol) in toluene (260 ml). The reaction was heated at reflux for 3.5 hours with stirring and then cooled to room temperature. The formed oil became solid upon cooling. The suspension was filtered and the solid was washed with toluene. The product (11) (22.7 g) was obtained as a pale brown solid at 98% yield.
Note: An alkylchloride or an ω-hydroxy-alkyl chloride is also suitable as a replacement for the bromide compounds in this method.
Step 2
Metallic sodium (1.3 g, 56 mmol) was added slowly to cold MeOH (50 ml) with stirring under nitrogen. The prepared mixture of NaOMe/MeOH was transferred to the hydrogenation vessel and pyridium bromide salt (11) (11.1 g, 51 mmol) obtained from the above reaction was added to the reaction mixture followed by 5% rhodium on charcoal (1.1 g, 10% w/w). The reaction was processed under hydrogen atmosphere (140 psi) at 60° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite and washed with MeOH (100 mL).
The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to dryness to confirm complete recovery. The residue was redissolved in MeOH (150 mL) and poured over Amberlyst 15 resin (106 g, 50 mmol). The mixture was heated at gentle reflux without stirring overnight. The resin was transferred to a column and washed with MeOH (150 mL). The amine was released from the resin by using 33% MeNH2/EtOH (63 mL, ˜0.5 mol) in EtOH (190 mL) and further washed with EtOH (150 mL). Removal of the solvent of the combined ethanolic fractions gave 5.04 g of clear golden oil (69%). Analysis of 1H and 23Na NMR showed the desired product (12) free from sodium salt.
The product may also be collected by fractional distillation (collected at 122° C./1.0 mbar).

4-(N-Boc amino)-1-piperidine (10 g, 50 mmol), bromoethanol (7.1 mL, 100 mmol) and K2CO3 (55.2 g, 400 mmol) in acetonitrile (200 mL) were heated at reflux for 5 h. The K2CO3 was filtered off and the acetonitrile was evaporated to dryness (reduced pressure). The resulting residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL) and H2O (100 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred vigorously and then the phases were allowed to separate, the pH of the aqueous phase was tested (>pH 10, adjust with potassium hydroxide if necessary). The aqueous phase was removed and extracted with dichloromethane (2×100 mL). The combined organic phases were washed with H2O (2×100 mL) and sat. NaCl (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness (reduced pressure). The product was purified by dry column vacuum chromatography (DCVC) (Pedersen et al.) eluting with methanol/dichloromethane/ethyl acetate (2:9:9), to yield 7.1 g of a golden oil (58% yield) which crystallised on standing to give off-white crystals. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 4.43 (br s, 1H), 3.58 (t, J=4.5, 2H), 3.48 (br s, 1H), 2.90-2.78 (m, 2H), 2.51 (t, J=5.4, 2H), 2.24-2.12 (m, 2H), 1.99-1.88 (m, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.44-1.35 (m, 2H, superimposed).
The 4-(N-Boc amino)-1-piperidineethanol (13 g, 53.2 mmol) was treated with TFA (26 mL) for 90 mL. The TFA was removed (reduced pressure) and the TEA salt was converted to the HCl salt by treatment with 20% HCl/methanol (130 mL) at ambient temperature for 30 min. The HCl/methanol was evaporated (reduced pressure) and the residue dissolved in H2O (10 mL). The solution was cooled in an ice-bath and NaOH (10M, 35 mL) added to pH >10. The solution was warmed to RT and stirred for 15 min prior to evaporating to dryness. The residue was triturated with ether/isopropanol (2:1), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The trituration process was repeated until no salt was present in the oil (5×) to yield 6.7 g (87%) of an off-white solid.
This method provides a specific example of the method of Example 1 and the method of Example 6.

Triethylamine (19.2 g, 190 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of 4-piperidone monohydrate hydrochloride (20.0 g, 131 mmol) in methanol (300 mL) and stirred for 5 min. Boc2O (34 g, 168 mmol) was added in portions over a 5 min period, followed by DMAP (0.4 g, 3 mmol). The solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 h. The methanol was removed under reduced pressure and the crude was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL). The organic phase was washed with HCl (2M, 2×70 mL) sat. Na2CO3 (70 mL) and sat NaCl (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to yield 1-Boc-4-piperidone as a white solid in quantitative yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 mHz) δ 3.71 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 4H), 2.44 (t, J=6.2 Hz, 4H), 1.49 (s, 9H).
Na(OAc)3BH (40.58 g, 192 mmol) was added slowly to a stirring solution of 1-Boc-4-piperidone (15.25 g, 77 mmol), ethanolamine (4.68 g, 77 mmol) and acetic acid (4.6 g, 77 mmol) in dichloromethane (150 mL) cooled in a water bath under N2 and the solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. The reaction was quenched by the careful addition of H2O (75 mL) and the mixture stirred for 45 min. The solution was basified to pH 10 by the careful addition of 25% NaOH (˜150 mL) and stirred a further 10 min. The phases were allowed to separate and the organic phase was washed with H2O (150 mL) and saturated NaCl (150 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness to yield the target (17.49 g, 94%) as a clear oil which crystallised on standing. 1H NMR (CDCl3 400 mHz) δ 4.02 (br s, 2H), 3.63 (tr, J=5.2 Hz, 2H), 2.88-2.71 (m, 4H), 2.66-2.54 (m, 1H), 1.91-1.79 (m, 2H), 1.44 (s, 9H), 1.31-1.15 (m, 2H).
The 4-(2-ethanolamino)-1-Boc-piperidine (14 g, 57.3 mmol) was treated with TFA (28 mL) for 90 mL. The TFA was removed (reduced pressure) and the TFA salt was converted to the HCl salt by treatment with 20% HCl/methanol (140 mL, 280 mmol HCl) at ambient temperature for 30 min. The HCl/methanol was evaporated (reduced pressure) to yield a white solid in quantitative yield. 19F NMR (MeOD) confirmed complete conversion to the HCl salt.
The salt was dissolved in H2O (10 mL) and cooled in an ice-bath. NaOH (10M, 35 mL) was added to pH >10. The solution was warmed to RT and stirred for 15 min prior to evaporating to dryness. The residue was triturated with ether/isopropanol (2:1), filtered and evaporated to dryness. The trituration process was repeated until no salt was present in the oil (5×) to yield 7.8 g (95%) of a clear oil which solidified on standing.
The test results (shown in the accompanying figures) are a comparison of four compounds within general formula (I) with 4-aminopiperidine in terms of their CO2 absorption at 40° C. (
The compounds within the scope of Formula (I) used in this example are as follows:
##STR00022##
As can be seen from the graphs shown in
Compounds 1 to 4 also displayed better CO2 release in desorption (
The results above indicated that the compounds of Formula (I) may improve CO2 capture capacity (CO2 absorption and desorption) of known systems. The compounds exhibited a more efficient cycle of CO2 absorption-desorption, which may lead to significantly lower the energy consumption in CO2 capture.
These results were also compared with monoethanolamine (MEA) and piperizine (Pz) for their CO2 absorption and desorption. MEA and Pz are commercially available amines used in industry for CO2 capture. Aqueous MEA is used as a CO2 absorber due to its attractive CO2 loading capacity in g CO2/g MEA whilst it's desorption is poor and high energy consumption is required. Pz was claimed widely as a promoter in CO2 absorption by amines, but our study results showed that Pz carbamate was reasonably stable at 90° C., and this limited its capacity as a promoter in CO2 capture at lower energy consumption.
In
The results of CO2 absorption at 40° C. are displayed as a ratio of mole of CO2/mole of amine (
1. Absorption
An amine solution (2M, 10 mL) was added to a 50 ml jacketed 2-necked pear-shaped flask. The reaction solution was stirred, heated to and maintained at 40° C. with a Ratek Thermoregulator thermostatted bath. The stirring speed, 900 rpm, was kept the same in all absorption and desorption experiments. A condenser was connected to the flask through a Claisen adapter, and an electronic thermometer introduced to monitor the temperature of the amine solution. Hydrated gas of 10% CO2 and 90% N2 was introduced to the amine solution through a PTFE tube (0.71 mm ID, 1.78 mm OD) at a total flow rate of 50 mL/min (controlled via a Bronkhorst High-Tech El-Flow mass flow controller). The loading was processed over night (18 hours). A sample was taken for NMR analysis.
The concentration of MEA used in experiment was 4M. This concentration provided same total concentration of amino-groups to that of 2M diamines.
2. Desorption
After the gas supply was removed, the CO2-rich amine solution obtained from the above absorption was heated at a constant temperature of 90° C. with a Ratek Thermoregulator thermostatted bath. Samples are taken from reaction for NMR analysis at reaction time of 2, 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes.
3. General Method for Quantitative 13C NMR Analysis and Data Processing
NMR samples were placed into a 5 mm (178 mm long, 4.24 mm ID) NMR tube to a height of 40 mm then capped, and an external standard of 1,4-dioxane in a sealed capillary was used in 13C NMR analysis (δC 67.18 ppm, calibrated against an external TMS/CDCl3 solution). Relaxation times (T1) of the carbon atoms in the reaction mixture were measured using the standard inversion recovery (“Null”) method. The NMR analytical interscan recycle time was chosen as equal to 5×T1. NMR spectroscopy was performed at 25° C. The molar ratio of CO2-loading to amine was calculated based on integration of carbonyl signals and amine aliphatic carbon signals. The weight loading figure then was calculated from molar ratio results. The accuracy of loadings determined in this manner was estimated to be ±3% for amine concentrations of 4 M. The cyclic capacity is the calculated difference between the maximum and minimum CO2 loading in the process of absorption-desorption cycle.
